Messrs. E. R. Jones and L. J. Crine
Drew Weapons on Each Other.
The serenity which has been hover
ing over the city tor the last tew weeks
was quite disturbed when Mr. Ed. R.
Jones and Mr.. Louis J. Orlne mixed
up in an altercation at the HUsman-
Sale drug store corner about 11:30
o’clock this morning.
No blows were struck, no throats
were cut, and no bullets were sent
whizzing through the heart of either
ot the belligerents. Many hot words
passed, however, and a knife and a
revolver figured quite prominently In
the blowless melee.
The quarrel grew out of a strictly
business proposition, it seems. From
an account given by an eye-witness,
Mr. Crine went after Mr. Jones with
an open knife. Mr. Crine suddonly
found himself looking down the bar
rel of a revolver In the hand of Mr.
Jones. Mr. Crine then changed his
mind about cutting Mr. Jones, and the
latter altered his views as to shoot
ing Mr. Crine. Mr. Jones was taken
away by friends, and the aforesaid ser
enity aijd quietude which had been per
vading the atmosphere were restored.
It is understood that each of the
participants In the bloodless affray
will have to answer tomorrow to the
charge of disturbing the public peace.

Everett, Mass., March 26. — Less
than three hours before the time set
for her wedding, Pansy E. Townsend
was dhot and mortally wounded by her
father, Joseph P. Townsend, in their
home In this city. Townsend then end
ed his own life with a bullet.
Miss Townsend was to have been
married to Francis E. Perry, of Fort
Myers, Fla., at 6 o'clock tonight at
the People’s Temple, Boston. Early
in the afternoon the father sent the
only other member of the family, his
15-year-old son Joseph, to East Boston
on an errand connected with the com
ing wedding. The boy returned about
4:30 o’clock and let himself Into the
house with a key. Calling to ‘ his
father and receiving no answer, he
pushed open the sitting room door and
entered. On the floor lay the dead
body of his father, the head in a pool
ot blood, and a small Tlfle across the
knees. BeBtde him was a revolver of
a heavy calibre. Miss Townsend lay
upon a couch at the side of the room,
and, according to the boy’s statement,
was still alive.
The boy tried to force some brandy
down his sister’s throat, and falling,
hurried after doctors. When they ar
rived the girl was dead. She had
been shot through the head.
The onl* clue to the cause ot the
tragedy was this note written by
Townsend today:
“At 4:30 I have taken my daugh
ter's life and my own. I do this
rather than see her the wife of
, Francis Perry.”
So far as Is known, Townsend had
nothing against Perry, and the suppo
sition Is that Townsends’ mind was un
balanced by reason of love for his
daughter and his brooding over the
prospect of separation from her.
Townsend was formerly mate on a ves
sel Balling from Boston. He was born
In Baltimore fifty-six years ago. His
wife had been dead several years.
Miss Townsend was 26 years of age.
